2. Broker messaging specification and endpoints
The broker facilitates the connection of snowflake clients and snowflake proxies
through the exchange of WebRTC SDP information with its endpoints.
2.1. Client interactions with the broker
Clients interact with the broker by making a POST request to `/client` with the
offer SDP in the request body:
```
POST /client HTTP
[offer SDP]
```
If the broker is behind a domain-fronted connection, this request is accompanied
with the necessary HOST information.
If the client is matched up with a proxy, they receive a 200 OK response with
the proxy's answer SDP in the request body:
```
HTTP 200 OK
[answer SDP]
```
If no proxies were available, they receive a 503 status code:
```
HTTP 503 Service Unavailable
```
2.2 Proxy interactions with the broker
Proxies poll the broker with a proxy poll request to `/proxy`:
```
POST /proxy HTTP
{
Sid: [generated session id of proxy],
Version: 1.1,
Type: ["badge"|"webext"|"standalone"|"mobile"]
}
```
If the request is well-formed, they receive a 200 OK response.
If a client is matched:
```
HTTP 200 OK
{
Status: "client match",
{
type: offer,
sdp: [WebRTC SDP]
}
}
```
If a client is not matched:
```
HTTP 200 OK
{
Status: "no match"
}
```
If the request is malformed:
```
HTTP 400 BadRequest
```
If they are matched with a client, they provide their SDP answer with a POST
request to `/answer`:
```
POST /answer HTTP
{
Sid: [generated session id of proxy],
Version: 1.1,
Answer:
{
type: answer,
sdp: [WebRTC SDP]
}
}
```
If the request is well-formed, they receive a 200 OK response.
If the client retrieved the answer:
```
HTTP 200 OK
{
Status: "success"
}
```
If the client left:
```
HTTP 200 OK
{
Status: "client gone"
}
3) If the request is malformed:
HTTP 400 BadRequest
```
